The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Adventure by Jack London: question with her, and consoling himself with the reflection that
heaven alone knew what adventures she was liable to engage in if

the next quarter of an hour the house-boys were kept busy carrying
messages to the barracks. A man was sent to Balesuna village to
command old Seelee's immediate presence. A boat's-crew was started
in a whale-boat with word for Boucher to come down. Ammunition was
issued to the Tahitians, and the storeroom overhauled for a few
days' tinned provisions. Viaburi turned yellow when told that he
was to accompany the expedition, and, to everybody's surprise,
Lalaperu volunteered to take his place.
